text: Bio-energy Research Dollars Available USDA, DOE are partnering to provide funding for bio projects. Published on: Apr 21, 2011 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The Departments of Agriculture and Energy have jointly announced the availability of up to $30 million over three to four years to support research and development in advanced biofuels, bioenergy and high-value biobased products. The projects funded through the Biomass Research and Development Initiative will help create a diverse group of economically and environmentally sustainable sources of renewable biomass and increase the availability of alternative renewable fuels and biobased products. In making the announcement, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said these projects will contribute knowledge and technologies that will ultimately help us break our dependence on foreign oil and move our nation toward a clean energy economy that creates jobs and keeps America competitive. Advanced biofuels produced from these projects are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a minimum of 50% compared to fossil fuels and will play an important role in diversifying America's energy portfolio. "Producing renewable fuels from biomass right here in the United States will improve our nation's energy security and give us an innovative edge in the global market for clean energy technologies," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu. For fiscal year 2011, applicants seeking BRDI funding must propose projects that integrate science and engineering research in three technical areas that are critical to the broader success of alternative biofuels production. • Feedstock Development Funding will support research, development, and demonstration activities for improving biomass feedstocks and their supply, including the harvest, transport, preprocessing, and storage necessary to produce biofuels and biobased products. • Biofuels and Biobased Products Development Research, development, and demonstration activities will support cost-effective technologies to increase the use of cellulosic biomass in the production of biofuels and/or biobased products. Funding will also support the development of a wide range of technologies to produce various biobased products, including animal feeds and chemicals that can potentially increase the economic viability of large-scale fuel production in a biorefinery. • Biofuels Development Analysis Projects will develop analytic tools that improve the sustainability, environmental quality, cost effectiveness, security, and rural economic development of renewable biomass technologies. Funding will also be used to develop new tools to better evaluate the impact of expanded biofuel production on the environment and to assess the potential of using federal land resources to sustainably increase feedstock production for biofuels and biobased products. The agencies are also looking for projects that demonstrate the use of biodiesel in farming equipment and processing facility operations used to produce grain and/or cellulosic ethanol.

Well if that's true then it certainly seems like something's about to go down soon. I doubt anything will happen with the Egyptian PM there, but you never know. I shouldn't think Israel will care too much for a person to supports Hamas and openly speaks out against Israeli 'aggression' as if it's unjustified.
So let me put this straight. Netanyahu ran to his underground bunker because Hamas fired 3 Fasjr-5 missiles ? wow, just imagine what he will do when Iran is going to invade Israel with it's 6 million soldiers and when Hezbollah is going to pour rain with 100.000 intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Poor jews. They will become the biggest parking lot.

Found December 19, 2011 on Fox Sports Southwest:
PLAYERS: Michael Ryder, Loui Eriksson, Eric Nystrom, Alex Goligoski, Mike Ribeiro, Brenden Morrow, Teemu Selanne, Lubomir Visnovsky, Mike Modano, Nick Bonino, Bruce Boudreau, Richard Bachman, Kari Lehtonen, Jonas Hiller, Vernon Fiddler, Adam Burish, Tomas Vincour, Philip Larsen, Andy Greene, Jason Blake, Jacob Josefson
TEAMS: Dallas Stars, Anaheim Ducks, Detroit Red Wings, New Jersey Devils
TEAMS: Dallas Stars, Anaheim Ducks, Detroit Red Wings, New Jersey Devils
DALLAS (AP) -- Michael Ryder scored the go-ahead goal at 6:42 of the third period after Dallas had wasted a three-goal lead, and the Stars went on to 5-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. With the game even at 3, Ryder skated up the middle and converted Loui Eriksson's setup for Ryder's 11th of the season. Eric Nystrom added an insurance goal for Dallas at 14:19 of the third. Dallas' Alex Goligoski and Mike Ribeiro scored power-play goals over a 24-second span in the second period. Brenden Morrow also connected for the Stars. Anaheim's Teemu Selanne registered his 648th career goal on the power play, and teammate Lubomir Visnovsky added a man-advantage goal. The Ducks fell to 0-9-3 in their last 12 on the road, 1-5-0 in their last six overall. Selanne contributed an assist to give him 1,375 career points, moving past former Dallas center Mike Modano and into sole possession of 22nd on the all-time list. Nick Bonino also scored for Anaheim, 2-6-1 since Bruce Boudreau took over as coach after Randy Carlyle was fired on Nov. 30. Stars rookie Richard Bachman made his fifth straight start -- and home debut -- while regular goalie Kari Lehtonen sat out his ninth consecutive game due to a groin injury. Lehtonen is skating and is expected to be back in the net within a week. Morrow got the scoring underway at 9:06 of the opening period, striking from low in the right circle off a pass from Ribeiro after the linemates worked a 2 on 1. The Stars hadn't skated 5 on 3 all season, but they had a pair of two-man advantages in the first two periods. Dallas capitalized on the second when Goligoski's shot from the point glanced off Anaheim defenseman Francoise Beauchemin and past goaltender Jonas Hiller at 1:19 of the second period. The Stars cashed in on a 5 on 4 advantage at 1:43 of the second when Ribeiro scored from the left circle for a 3-0 lead. Selanne got the Ducks' rally underway at 4:30 of the second, firing a shot from the left circle and just inside the near post for his 11th of the season. Anaheim pulled within 3-2 on Visnovsky's blast from the point that glanced off Dallas' Vernon Fiddler and past Bachman at 14:49 of the second. Bonino's deflection at 18:27 of the second, his first goal of the season and second of his career, tied it at 3. NOTES: Dallas opened a stretch of six of seven home games following a 3-2 trip... Forwards Adam Burish (broken hand) and Tomas Vincour (knee), and D Philip Larsen (lower body) are out for Dallas... C Travis Zajak (Achilles' tendon), D Andy Greene (toe), LW Jason Blake (arm) and C Jacob Josefson (shoulder) are out for the Ducks... Dallas is 4-0-2 in its last six against Anaheim.

Summary of The Epic of Gilgamesh Summary of The Epic of Gilgamesh Reviews for The Epic of Gilgamesh An Excerpt from The Epic of Gilgamesh
'I am Gilgamesh who seized and killed the Bull of Heaven, I killed the watchman of the cedar forest, I overthrew Humbaba who lived in the forest' Gilgamesh, King of Uruk, and his companion Enkidu are the only heroes to have survived from the ancient literature of Babylon, immortalized in this epic poem that dates back to the third millennium BC. Together they journey to the Spring of Youth, defeat the Bull of Heaven and slay the monster Humbaba. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh's grief and fear of death are such that they lead him to undertake a quest for eternal life. A timeless tale of morality, tragedy and pure adventure, The Epic of Gilgamesh is a landmark literary exploration of man's search for immortality. N. K. Sandars's lucid, accessible translation is prefaced by a detailed introduction that examines the narrative and historical context of the work. In addition, there is a glossary of names and a map of the Ancient Orient.'The work of synthesis has been accomplished, and with a remarkable degree of tact and imagination'

Kevin Lawler says playwright Martin McDonagh's "A Behanding in Spokane" is like a roller coaster ride for the audience.
"Once the audience gets on that ride, you have to keep it moving the entire time," said Lawler, who's directing the play at the Blue Barn Theatre. "We're all working to keep that kind of tension in the entire experience."
"A Behanding in Spokane" opens tonight. Lawler says it's great, dark comedy. Susan Clement-Toberer, the Blue Barn's artistic director, chose the play.
"I love McDonagh, love his writing," she said last week. "The risks he takes and the quirks in the writing are just brilliant in their ability to make us laugh at one sentence, then in the next moment make us wish we hadn't. It's a wild ride."
The 2010 play centers on Carmichael, a racist backwoods sociopath who has been searching 27 years for the hand he lost. Marilyn and Toby, a couple of dim-bulb con artists, think he's an easy mark. And the hotel clerk, Mervyn, has a serious aversion to gunfire.
The play contains profanity, violence and the bantering about of the N-word.
What is McDonagh after here? Lawler said it's hard to articulate.
"He's writing about four desperate people doing stupid things to each other," Lawler said. "He delves into the hearts of people who are in a very dark place, a place that is not coming from the center of society, the normal center."
In the process, Lawler said, McDonagh reveals to us aspects of ourselves that we don't normally look at.
"If you look for a message, you're going to frustrate yourself," said Thomas Becker, who plays Carmichael. "He does have something to say. I don't know that it can be put into words. But I often think it's about the world we live in, a dark, difficult, frustrating place at times — and a place that turns out some very disturbing people."
Absurdity and violence, Becker said, can make you laugh at things you didn't know you could laugh at.
Clement-Toberer said McDonagh is all about the ride he takes you on, and how you don't know where it's going to take you.
"But you'll be entertained and provoked in ways you've never been before," she said. "I love that the Blue Barn has been doing this style of theater for 24 seasons, and our audience can't get enough."

New Town residents mourn 4 people slain in homeNEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — Residents of a North Dakota town where a woman and three of her grandchildren were shot and killed gathered for an evening prayer service Monday.
NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — Residents of a North Dakota town where a woman and three of her grandchildren were shot and killed gathered for an evening prayer service Monday.
Clinical psychologist Bob Edwards traveled from Minot to New Town on the Fort Berthold Reservation for the service to help people cope.
"I've talked with 30 people already. People want a chance to process their grief and their fear," he told the Minot Daily News.
Martha Johnson, 64, and three of her grandchildren — Benjamin Schuster, 13, Julia Schuster, 10, and Luke Schuster, 6 — were gunned down in their home Sunday afternoon, while Johnson's husband, Harley, was out hunting. Another Schuster sibling who was in the home was not hurt and called authorities.
Federal investigators are looking at a New Town man who committed suicide in nearby Parshall later Sunday as a person of interest in the case.
Tribal Chairman Tex Hall told The Associated Press that authorities have told tribal officials that the town of about 2,000 people is safe.
But many people remained shaken. Slayings are relatively rare in North Dakota, which is home to fewer than 700,000 people. Last year, only 24 murders and non-negligent manslaughters occurred.
"Our world, our lives, have been changed," Tribal Tax Director Mark Fox said Monday night.
School classes in New Town were canceled Monday but resumed Tuesday with additional counselors and clergy called in to help students and staff cope, Superintendent Marc Bluestone said.
"You don't hear about things like this in small town North Dakota," he told The Forum. "It's really a shock to everyone when it's your safe little town. It's very scary for all of us."

Guy Fawkes Being Wheeled to Execution
- Scottish Art
Guy Fawkes is the most notorious of the conspirators in the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in which a group of English Catholics planned to blow up the House of Lords during the State opening of Parliament, and kill King James I and VI. The conspirators had leased a storeroom beneath the House of Lords, which they filled with barrels of gunpowder. Following a tip-off, the king ordered the cellars to be searched and the gunpowder was discovered. Fawkes was arrested and gave up his fellow plotters. This sketch shows Fawkes being dragged to execution. Fawkes was spared the pain of being hung, drawn and quartered, as he leaped from the gallows, breaking his own neck in the fall.

Jacques Chirac, often seen as the embodiment of France from afar, was president of France from 1995 to 2007.
Charming, debonair, skilled in the national art of social discourse, in his last year in office, Mr. Chirac seemed to be gliding toward retirement and a respectable place in history.
Instead, he came under unrelenting attack, so much so that the newspaper Libération named ''Chiracophobia'' as ''the new national sport.'' The disillusionment with Mr. Chirac was not only personal but also a reflection of the dread among the French public that their nation had lost its glory abroad and its way at home.
In 2009, an investigating magistrate ordered Mr. Chirac to stand trial on corruption charges dating to his time years ago as mayor of Paris. He was accused of breach of trust and embezzlement, by approving the creation of 28 fake jobs in the 1990's for cronies and party political operatives. Mr. Chirac denied the charges.
The trial was adjourned in March 2011 after a constitutional challenge was rejected by the Court of Appeals.
In September 2011, after a six-month hiatus, the trial reopened — but Mr. Chirac was absent. A French court decided that the trial would proceed without Mr. Chirac having to be present, citing the poor state of his mental health.
Mr. Chirac's lawyers submitted a medical report to the presiding judge saying that he was medically unfit to take part in the proceedings because his memory lapses meant he could not reliably testify about the events of 20 years ago.
On Dec. 15, Mr. Chirac was convicted of embezzlement and misuse of public funds. He received a two-year suspended sentence.
The weekly magazine Paris Match reported that Mr. Chirac suffers from anosognosia, meaning a memory loss that the sufferer himself is unaware of and unable to recognize. Anosognosia is often seen in Alzheimer's patients, for example. Mr. Chirac's lawyers said that in his case the memory loss was a symptom possibly related to a 2005 stroke. Mr. Chirac was 79 at the time of his conviction.
The anticorruption group Anticor, a plaintiff in the case, asked the judge to appoint a neutral expert to examine the issue. But prosecutors said they had no objection to the trial proceeding without Mr. Chirac in the courtroom.
Mr. Chirac was mayor of Paris from 1977 to 1995, when he was elected president. He had immunity from prosecution until he left the presidency in 2007, and his lawyers have been fighting since then to avoid a trial.
The city of Paris dropped its complaint against Mr. Chirac in 2010 in return for a payment of more than 2.2 million euros, which came from Mr. Chirac and the ruling political party, the Union for a Popular Movement, which is the successor to Mr. Chirac's party.
Also on trial in the case are two former chiefs of staff at the Paris city hall and seven others said to have benefited improperly from graft.
Political Background
Mr. Chirac is the first former French head of state to be put on trial since Marshal Philippe Pétain, who was convicted of treason at the end of World War II.
Widespread criticism in his last years in office underscored a larger point: Mr. Chirac's 1995 campaign promises to ''mend the social fracture'' in France and reduce unemployment, among other things, had been unfulfilled.
A four-hour documentary of his political career aired on France 2 television in 2006 — the first time an assessment of a sitting president has been shown on public television in prime time. In it the country's political elite, many of them onetime friends and colleagues of Mr. Chirac, lined up to tell stories about his thirst for power, his betrayals, his opportunism and his policy U-turns that earned him the nickname ''the Weathervane.''
Mr. Chirac, born in 1932, has held no jobs outside of government. He joined the civil service in the 1950s, was elected to Parliament in 1967 and became a junior minister for the first time later that year. He was prime minister in the 1970s and again in the 1980s. Many French people have never known politics without him.
In his third volume of memoirs published in October 2006, former President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing accused Mr. Chirac, a fellow politician of the center-right, of a double betrayal in the 1981 presidential election, which brought François Mitterrand, the Socialist leader, to power. Instead of supporting Mr. Giscard d'Estaing against Mr. Mitterrand, Mr. Chirac ran as well. Even worse, Mr. Giscard d'Estaing recounts a deathbed conversation in which Mr. Mitterrand credits his victory in the second round to secret support from Mr. Chirac.
Mr. Chirac's main achievements, many in France believe, were on the world stage. According to a Paris-Match poll in 2006, 78 percent of those polled approved of his handling of foreign affairs. Part of that popularity stems from his opposition to the American-led war in Iraq in 2003, perhaps his best political move.
In a 48-page special report on the ''enigma'' of Mr. Chirac in the journal L'Histoire in 2006, Jean-Luc Parodi, one of France's leading research directors, suggested that there was only one moment in which Mr. Chirac was ''totally in balance with French society: when he refused to engage France in the Iraq adventure.''
France's affection for Mr. Chirac, a politician of Machiavellian talents and personal charm, has grown since he left office. Even if he is found to be guilty of the charges, many French citizens would prefer to see him left alone in his retirement, according to numerous opinion polls.

Niki Lauda believes reliability more than speed will be the key to winning this year's F1 Championship.
This season Formula One will introduce 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 engines with ERS that will replace the current 2.4-litre V8s.
The new engines, though, won't have much track-time before the first grand prix in Australia as pre-season testing is limited.
As such, Lauda, a non-executive director at Mercedes, believes reliability will play a major role in the 2014 title race.
"Nobody knows," he told Autosport when asked if Merc could win the title. "But the target has to be reliability.
"Who has the most reliable piece of engine, gearbox and car will win the Championship.
"Next year is not speed, it is reliability. It is what we all have to work for."
As for claims that Mercedes as a works team could have the edge next season, Lauda said: "It is a big challenge and a big opportunity to go ahead again.
"But this challenge is on the side of the engine, gearbox and car so I think it is a different thing to the last couple of years.
"I am looking forward to it."

Sprint Sucks!
Posted by Jtmichaels on 07/17/2007
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- That IS the bottom line...SPRINT SUCKS! We ALL need to post our thoughts, comments, and experiences we've had with Sprint ONLINE so that the search engines will pick them up for everyone to see what a LOUSY company this has become!
My girlfriend, my entire family, and myself all closed our accounts last night with Sprint. We went over to the Verizon store and got AWESOME new phones we are VERY happy with, will be saving money each month, and hopefully won't have the HORRIBLE customer service full of lies, silly games, and other crap we had with Sprint!
I urge you to drop Sprint service if you still have it. There is NO logical reason to stay with Sprint! Their website is constantly having issues. I've not been able to login to pay my bill in nearly 6 months!!! What about hold time? Try calling sometime and seeing how long you will have to wait!
They have gone downhill and because of it, they are losing GOOD loyal customers to other carriers. They lost at least 6 more just last night! Verizon rules! Sprint SUCKS!

Sprint is the best!!!!!! I love Sprint! You must have gotten on their nerves, because they don't like you. If they did they would have made you an offer you couldn't refuse so they can keep your business. Now you are screwed because Verizon's network is not as good as Sprints and they are very expensive.

I've been with Sprint for 8 years and they always gave me great service, until lately. My signal was sporatic, I called and was told they are updating one tower in my area and it will be cleared up by 7:30 pm Saturday. Sunday at 7:30 the problem still exsisted, I called again and was told two towers are in need of repair in my area and it should be resolved by Monday. Tuesday my service is still a mess....I'm out of contract and I'm giving sprint a little more time to have this fixed...while in contract, I was given a two day credit for signal problems, but now being out of contract I wasn't offered didly....guess maybe they don't care anymore....vorizion you say?....hmmmm.
Posted by ChefDeb on 2013-09-07:
@Tommyboy-Had the same problem you've encountered with Sprint. No signal and roaming in my living room. Really!!! In any case, contacted Sprint and told them I was extremely unhappy and would be switching carriers - been with Sprint since it was Nextel. Told them was looking at AT and T or Verizon. Well I got a credit of $120 ($30 for 4 months) and a free Airave signal booster. I now have service in my house. Call them and tell them you are seriously thinking about leaving but wanted to give them a chance to make it right. Tell them you want the Airave signal booster for free since you have no service. Not that I think Sprint is the best but all of the cell carriers are horrible and Sprint does give true unlimited data service unlike Verizon or AT and T and I use a lot of data.

MICHIGAN -- I and my sons have all of these problems with Sprint.
We should start an on-line petition for people across the country.
Sprint has several locations and countries taking "customer sevice" calls and they don't keep any records of any conversations and this is all in an attempt to confuse, confound and wear out the customer so they just give up and to let them know that their request for fairness is futile. After all who has the power to pull the plug on you if you don't hand over the money? It's all about the money! And of course you must pay or it goes immediately to your credit report.

There was an article in the Kansas City Star today (or maybe yesterday) about how Sprint/Nextel is cutting customers who complained to customer service too often. The letter they sent out said, "While we have worked to resolve your issues and questions to the best of our ability, the number of inquiries you have made to us during this time had led us to determine that we are unable to meet your current wireless needs."
As someone who used to work in customer service, I find this an interesting tactic. We'll see how it plays out.

Posted by rnick821 on 2007-07-11:
I don't have a Sprint contract...I use Cingular. I just happened to notice it on the front page of my newspaper (I live in Kansas City) and saw this complaint, so I thought I would interject it as an interesting point. I don't know how many companies actually would tell paying customers to hit the road. I know that Southwest has done it on occasion, and an office supply company that I used to work for would tell its most difficult customers to find a new supplier, but in general, I think it takes a lot of balls for a company to simply tell 1000+ customers to get lost.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2007-07-11:
Let me begin by saying that I do sympathize with the customer. I have AT&T service.
Doesn't take that amount of balls when you have several million customers, 1000 will not make a dent and might improve service for the customers that aren't such a pain.
From what I have read, these people being removed are people that have called 26 or more times on average per month. I think that is excessive.
We have seen "customers" like this posting and ranting and raving many times about what most poster see as irrelevant.
From the link to the letter ADZ posted, it seems as if Sprint is doing everything to make the transition as smooth as they can.
Posted by warddw1526 on 2007-07-11:
When I worked with T-Mobile, they reviewed the call in records for the top 100 callers in to customer service, and got rid of some of them. People who would use their minutes up fast and call for bonus minutes 5 times a day, or people who would keep calling for un-needed credits. Yes the 1000 are paying customers, but I will bet that they are not huge paying customers either.

'...should start an on-line petition...'
Instead of writing about it, why not *do* it? Of course it's all about the money. If a company doesn't make money, they're not in business for very long.
Re: Deleting customers. I have my own business and have refused many new projects from clients who demanded services above and beyond the contract. Of course, there are those who will get a little more from me on occasion. I can be easily bought by a Wendy's Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. :)
Posted by jktshff1 on 2007-07-11:
Good point Ponie, I do the same.
Posted by Starlord on 2007-07-11:
Any-integrity, What's the matter? You have loose brains? First you slam us with all caps, then launch right into a demand for a class action suit. Are you not ware that the only people who win class action suits are the lawyers? If the lawyers who takes your case does happen to win against Sprint's lawyers, you might just accidentally get back cents on the dollar for your award. The lawyers for both sides will split the proceeds, then go out and have dinner on your dime. Forget Sprint, go to Wal-Mart and buy a Tracfone Motorola V170 for $18.43, then buy a card for about $19.00. That will give you over an hour to start your Tracfone account with, and the Tracfone will work where the Sprint never would. Take the money you saved over what Sprint would charge for a month, go to a decent restaurant and have a nice dinner and chill out.

Recently me and my husband had had a sprint account and nextel. The representative and manager we spoke to both told us they would merge our account over to the new billing system and it wouldn't change our contract. They lied. I now have a phone that will be over 3 yrs old when the contract expires. I now have been trying to get my account credited for $167.48. I had put the shared unlimited text on my phone for $20.00 a month. They charged me $18.67 x5 prorated and $20.00 x5 for current month. They still have not refunded this. I want out of this contract so bad. I feel so trapped and robbed. Can anyone help?????? I am so stressed with this company I recently had to start taking antideppressants just to survive the hell they have put me through and time they have taken me from with my kids. I wish someone will just shut them down. The FCC needs to investigate there charges and services that they provide. I can understand extending someones contract when they get a new phone, but changing billing systems and telling customer there will be no change in rolling over to new system and going from the 700 a month to 2100 min plan then 2 months later wam a extended contract. FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD is all I have to say about this company anyone that suggest to go to this company I will tell to turn around and run as fast as they can.

If nobody is smart enough when calling customer service to get the employee I.D. then you can't complain. If you want to hold that person responsible, at least you have a way to track them down. Don't take an attitude with someone different because they have no idea what you are talking about in the first place. I'm sure if I came to your job and started telling you that you suck after one of your co-workers told me something wrong, it wouldn't make you non too happy. So shut up.
Posted by earlfredenburg on 2012-07-06:
I think it's a great idea because Sprint owes me $277 and will not pay. Instead they are telling me I owe them the $277 from the two weeks of crappy service I got. This is all going on because the Sprint salesmen lied and said he could get one plan for the same price as the other and couldn't. Now they refuse to give me my money. I have been on the phone for three months arguing to get nowhere. I think they should have to pay me all of my money back and pay me for the time spent on the phone trying to get it back!!
Posted by Disappointed customer on 2013-02-07:
I switched from Sprint because I liked a phone from another company. I patiently waited for my contract to expire and cancelled on that day. Sprint then charged me for the entire next month. I thought they made a mistake, still feeling amicable toward them, but after several phone calls and promises to reduce the bill from various associates, they insisted that I pay for a month in which I didn't have any service. Before I had cancelled I was open to the idea of returning to Sprint if in the future they offered a phone I'd like, but now I'm so totally never going to go back to that company and I'm going to shout it from the rooftops my extreme displeasure with how Sprint treats their customers. If you are planning to go with Sprint, my advice to you is do not do it, because they will add unfair charges to your final bill and no amount of pleading with them will help. I'm so thoroughly disappointed in Sprint.
Posted by Dave on 2013-05-31:
No need to add to the same. Its no wonder Sprint is not at the top of the list of cell carriers, given how hard Sprint tries (not) to win back or keep their customers. Old saying, " fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".

I signed up with sprint 14 days ago. I got an LG. The screen blacked out on me so I took it back for a HTC evo. It wouldn't work. I then took that back for a Samsung galaxy S3. It wouldn't download apps. Mind you, the nearest sprint store is about 110 miles away. I'm sure you can imagine the gas costs these last two weeks. I couldn't afford to make another trip within my 14 day allowance, so I called. I was in the phone for over an hour. Getting the run around from sprint. Toward the end of the call they began to claim that I am out of their coverage area. My response, So how am I talking to you? Finally someone actually helped me fix my phone, but made sure to tell me that due to my not being in a coverage area I may not get the help needed in the future. So where is my refund for the phone in the plan and the refund for my first bill? Please help me.

Since sprint took over nextel, I didn't realize how bad there service was, for two months straight I kept calling the sprint customer service line and always got the same results. The system is being upgraded, will check the area your in, there probably working on the cell site, the wanrted to put some type of device in my home for better reception, after dropping so many calls i gave up and switched to verizon. The day I went to the sprint store I was standing in line I asked the guy behind me how he like the sprint phone, I should have paid attention to what he was saying and walked right out. He said it sucked! This is a company that needs to get there act together, because after so many complaints they offered no help, just excuses. Happy now with Verizon phones and service.

It is sad that I used to get 3G in my home. Noe I get extended then this little o. I call and the tell me tower is or I need to reconnect to the network even better they tell me they are upgrading. Funny that if they are upgrading that I am getting worse signal strength for past three months and they tell me it can be three months more. Sprint sucks and if I can stand it, last day of contract I will switch. Keep your sanity, run from Sprint. Not worth it.

Posted by JimB on 2013-10-16:
Since first getting our phones, nearly a year ago, we have had virtually little to no service and Sprint refuses to do anything about it, won't let us leave and plain insults our inteligence each time we've tried to talk with them. Their own store reps are fed up with the complaints. We have 5 phones in our family plan and our service consists of dropped calls, incomplete calls, no text messages or text that delivers hours after being sent. In most cases I'm very lucky to have a single bar on the status meter. Sprint best response to-date is they are withing industry parameters. It's time they fix it, let us drop our plans without penalty or we all file the largest, single class action suit ever. Of course I don't know how they would ever be able to let us know because my phone sure wouldn't be able to handle a call or text message.

Frequent dropped calls ,And delated txt mesg. I live in Hubbard, ohio, zip 44425 at home over last 8 months spring has dropped about 80% of calls witting the first two minutes, nome of my call can last longer then 2 or 3 mnts, its incredibly, frustrating and embarrassing to have services that performed so poorly, since October i been complaints several time a month w the company, i been asking then to a fairly adjustment on my bill as I'm not getting the full and complete service promised as our contract said, seemed like they r not resolving the problem so far and continuing billing me every month for a services,not delivery, its so bad in my case other nite need to go wk, then i realized my car was dead, i have a roadside services that i need to call to fix my car, i was unable to complete the phone call requesting the services, i made the call several time and each attempt wasn't successful, need to use the phone of somebody else, is very frustrating, i have two line, 2 iPhone and a service of $140 per month and i cant be trusted on the services, i don't know what else i can do, i cant go to,other supplier cus I'm on contract w this fouls company, and they don't let me go either, any suggestion for my situation? Will really appreciate.
Posted by Jackie on 2013-12-13:
we have had sprint for almost a year and have had nothing but dropped calls and no service we are also in a two-year contract, I agree with a lot of the comments they make us pay for being in a contract no matter what the service is on their end and the contract says they will give us service really we pay over 310.00 a month between 5 personal phones and 1 business phone. there has to be something we can do to get what we pay for

As several people stated....you won't get jack out of a class action lawsuit. You would be better off filing in small claims. Usually costs $50 or less (if claimis less than $10,000. (Sorry for the typos....using a defrctive sprint phone with defective keyboard). You also should check if recording your phone call to customer service is legal (it is if you notify them like they do you in some states). If it is, do so. Have records of their lies. Get ID #'s EVERY time you talk to them. Be polite. You getting bent makes you look bad in court, even if you are right. Get video of everything! Make several copies. Never open ANYTHING from them without video taping the labels on the outside of the box. Then video tape opening the box. Then video tape opening the inside packaging and verifying everything is as it supposed to be. ALWAYS get a receipt at the post office if returning anything to them. Keep in mind the fine print of the contract you signed (you need to request a full copy of your contract, as the one you sign is not the full contract. ANY reception of service within a billing cycle is considered monthly usage, even if just three seconds. Do not let a manager at a store bully you. You as a customer do have rights and should be treated fairly (you did sign the contract, so any problems related to something you are at fault for or sprint is at fault for is a legal binding contract). Always verify anything they tell, email, text, etc. You should look up local and state laws for free at your library that may pertain to your contract and sprint. As stated earlier, in some states you are alowed to record your phone calls with sprint, as long ad you notify them of this. Other states will fine you and you could face imprisonment. When dealing with a Large company, many people will make mistakes. Make sure it is you documenting their mistakes.

Padding The Bill With Extra Charges
Posted by on 01/24/2013
KENOSHA, WISCONSIN -- Sprint is horrible for charges. I originally signed up for the $79.99 plan. $69.99 then $10.00 more for the unlimited data. They said I would also get a 10 percent discount, which took 4 faxes over a 5 month period to receive and they would not credit me the prior months discount because they stated they just received it!! I did them at a corporate store each time and had them make me a copy of when it was faxed.
Well, the first month was fine, my bill was correct. The next months after for 10 months I had to constantly argue with them about my bill because I never received a bill under $130.00!!! I was told my bill would not even go over $85.00 to $90.00 because I had the triple A discount plus the plan was the 79.99 unlimited!!!! I had nights and weekends free, supposedly. I was suppose to have cell to cell free...supposed to! NOT!
Every time I called to complain they would say I didn't have detailed billing and they could add that for another $10.00....These rip-offs were padding my bill. I WOULD HAVE DROPPED CALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SALE!!! Not only that, but my taxes were escalating monthly! I finally got so [snip] off, I was able to get through to a "Manager" in the customer service who after an hour of me complaining and trying to pull it out of him HOW much do I pay for taxes!?!?!?! They gave me the run around twisting and turning my words like corporate rats then I said what is the percent...I want you to tell me what percent taxes you are charging???? Finally!!!! He still could not give me a definite but said "uh, no more than 12% to 17%. I said then why the [snip] is my bill being charged 30% on taxes!!!!!!!??????? He tried to twist and turn the numbers with me but I said you people are nothing but liars and cheats and you people can shove this up your butt!!!!
I hope to God there is a class action law suit with them because I also had them years ago and switched because they wanted to charge all these charges for not letting them take out of my account to pay my bill...as it stands my buyout would have been $350.00 and I cancelled service before my contract and had my bill coming up to pay the 79.99....you would have thought the final bill would have been around $450.00 tops to get them out of my wallet...Wrong! They sent me a bill for $750.00!!!!!! I'm not paying or dealing with them! They can kiss what I can't reach and they have been calling my new phone(because I ported my number) at all hours and days trying to speak with me!!!! But I am using caller block to block them with my new android new better priced plan! Sprint is hell! Do not sign a contract!!!
Signed: got you pegged Sprint!!!!!!!

As for your feeling that Sprint was dealing with you in a way you felt was dishonest, they may have. Of that I couldn't say. My ultimate concern is your current position of cancelling service and then ignoring them. With absolute respect, handling your Sprint account in such a fashion is likely to not come out as you think.
I deal with situations like this indirectly on a very regular bases. Sprint will report the debt negatively to your credit. Eventually you'll be forced to address the debt and it is nowhere near as likely to dispute at a later date. By that time interest, collection fees are added on.
I'd get a copy of your contract and the en compare it with the actual charges.
Best of luck.

Horrific So Far.....
Posted by Camlking on 04/16/2014
JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE -- I've only been a Sprint Customer almost a month, and so far, I've had nothing but problems! Every person I talk to on the phone....so far, it's been five, three in one day, they all do absolutely NOTHING to fix my problems! I can't even access my online account to pay my bill or see what the heck they're charging me for! They've given me one story after another as to why this problem is happening, and keep assuring me that in 48 hours, the problem will be resolved.
Secondly, I haven't been able to use my phone to get online for two days because there's no internet service. Once again, I was promised that this would be taken care of in the next 48 hours. I highly doubt it! The sad thing is, I joined the "family plan" with several of my friends, and I paid for my phone outright. I HATE my service with them, and even though I'd be out $500, it would be worth dropping them for another provider. Hidden fees and a bunch of lies.....who needs that?!

Sprint Won't Let You Cancel Phone Service
Posted by Nicole.scott7 on 04/12/2014
BOISE, IDAHO -- I have not been under contract with Sprint for several months and I tried to cancel my service and they still want me to pay $180 for the next two months of service. I have had to call them 5 times and they tell me my service is cancelled, but then they don't cancel my service. They will give me no confirmation that my service will be cancelled and in turn I have to wait a month to see if they ever cancel my service after I pay them 180 dollars .. even though I don't have a contract and my bill is current. WORST PROVIDER EVER!

Had to buy out of a product that never worked
Posted by Allsop92003 on 03/25/2014
EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN -- We have a cabin in northern Wisconsin. We signed a contact and purchased a Sprint Hot Spot for $30.00 a month to get internet there. We pointed on a map to the exact location of our cabin, and the Sprint salesman guaranteed us we would get service. We tried unsuccessfully for 3 months, going back and forth with our local Sprint store, and finally tried to turn it back in after NEVER being able to use it. After calling Customer Service and telling our story, being disconnected and transferred to someone that could not help us, we were finally told that we signed a contact and had to pay almost $200 to get out of it. We called and complained to our local store, and was told that because Sprint had upgraded to 4 G, remote area like ours lost their coverage....did not matter, we had signed a contract and had to pay to get out of service that we never received.
Yes, worst customer service of any business I have dealt with! We have changed to T Mobile.

Lying to Customer to Get Your Business
Posted by Sun7shyne on 03/24/2014
GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- I have been a Sprint customer since 1998. Always felt loyal to the company due to the great service. I purchased a new phone paying 299.00 out of pocket and still owe 599.00. I signed up for the family plan, since I was denied the option for just a contact. When setting up the account, was told my discount would began immediately.
First bill came no discount would be at least two billing cycles. The family plan is a rip off, at any time people drop from the plan, your bill goes up. No control of your own bill, that's why they denied my signing up for the contact. We won't talk about the dropped calls or the poor Internet signal.
The great company that I was loyal to has changed into a greedy company that don't keep their word and continuously cheats the customer. Please don't listen to what the sales associate says, read the fine print in the contact. Sprint sales associates work like car salesmen. A shame for the customer.

Terrible Customer Service, Do Not Get or Keep Sprint Wireless Service
Posted by Plattmeg on 02/13/2014
For over one month my cell phone number 3387 has not been able to successfully place voice calls to 3389. To our knowledge no one else is having trouble placing voice calls to 3389. The 3387 number is in Michigan and 3389 is in Virginia. It does not matter which region of Michigan I am in I still cannot successfully place a call to 3389, however I can FaceTime and text message without any issue. The 3389 number can call 3387 without any issue.
I have had several experiences with Sprint Business since January 5th when we sought help with this issue from Sprint directly. Prior to seeking Sprint's assistance we did hard and soft resets on our iphones and deleted each other as contacts and re-added them.
January 8th Sprint opened a ticket to fix the issue, they did not work on or progress on the issue until 1/15. I had to call them for updates.
I got my business account manager involved and he did not offer advice and he said he would try to move the issue along.
3387 has called 3389 daily without success. I have spoken to Sprint on the phone 35 times since this issue began. I have clear and concise documentation of each issue and have left messages with business support 6 times with the designated person to assist with this issue. He is not returning my calls.
Today (2/13) I have called account services and requested termination without fees because of the service issues. The representative offered me $25 for the inconvenience. I declined stating I wanted termination because of the terrible service and that the issue hasn't been fixed in well over a month.
I seriously discourage anyone from selecting Sprint as a carrier. They do not value their customers and are not able to provide proper support and return service for them.

Upon learning of the customer's issue described above, Sprint investigated and determined that the problem was caused by a network software error, which has been corrected. We understand the customer's frustration -- the problem took longer to get fixed than it should have. We have apologized to the customer for the error and we have taken steps to prevent the issue from occurring again -- to this customer or any others.

Horrible, dropped calls all the time, poor data service
Posted by Jwatkins6448 on 02/07/2014
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- "Don't be fooled by promise of unlimited data--can't hardly receive the data anyway. Reception was horrible. Sprint told us we were in the shadow, so they provided an mini transmitter that plugs into the internet. It does not work outside, and did not work well inside. Calls constantly dropped. Data reception poor. I would not NOT, use Sprint. We now have AT&T and are very pleased. We can actually use our phones. Rarely do we get a dropped call or dropped data"

Auditors say that despite claims by some inmates and their advocates, there not only have been very few errors in prison records, but that only three inmates had their parole date affected by a mistake.
After the issue was raised last year, advocates and inmates charged that hundreds of inmates had been denied parole because of mistakes in their records.
According to the audit report released Monday, two of those inmates actually got out earlier than they should have because of the errors found in an examination of 300 records.
The third, however, had his parole hearing delayed about 10 …

New York, NY On October 15, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) will join more than 1,000 organizations in more than 300 cities across the nation to promote and provide HIV testing and information in recognition of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). NLAAD is a nationwide community mobilization campaign seeking to raise the visibility of HIV/AIDS within the Latino community. Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country generally offer low-cost or free HIV testing, as well as educational information. For NLAAD, more than a dozen affiliates will put a special focus on raising awareness in the Latino community and 10,000 condoms with HIV/AIDS information printed on their labels will be given away.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HIV/AIDS is the number-four killer of Latinos aged 35 to 44 in the United States. While Latinos represent 15 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 16 percent of all AIDS cases since the beginning of the epidemic and 19 percent of all people in the U.S. living with AIDS.
Clearly, more needs to be done, said Cecile Richards, PPFA president. Whats most troubling is that despite advances in treatment, Latinos are not experiencing the same declines in HIV infection as other groups. We need to refocus our efforts and raise awareness in the Latino community about the danger of contracting HIV/AIDS and the resources available at Planned Parenthood to prevent infection.
National Latino AIDS Awareness Day was initiated in 2003 by the Latino Commission on AIDS and the Hispanic Federation. Currently, NLAAD is a day to celebrate Latinos rich collective heritage during Hispanic Heritage month as well as an opportunity to remind Latino communities across the country that the epidemic continues to threaten Latino health and lives.
NLAAD raises awareness of the devastation HIV/AIDS has had on the Latino community and emphasizes the power of prevention by offering free and low-cost testing, condoms, screenings and information at health fairs, cultural and community events, and through the media and clergy. Latinos are least likely to have health insurance, which would allow them to get the testing and services they need to keep them healthy.
For more information on the HIV/AIDS testing and treatment programs at a Planned Parenthood near you, log onto our website: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America is the nation's leading sexual and reproductive health care advocate and provider. We believe that everyone has the right to choose when or whether to have a child, and that every child should be wanted and loved. Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 880 health centers nationwide, providing medical services and sexuality education for millions of women, men, and teenagers each year. We also work with allies worldwide to ensure that all women and men have the right and the means to meet their sexual and reproductive health care needs.

Pittsford school seeks a principalBy Josh OGorman
staff writer | February 02,2013PITTSFORD The pupils of Lothrop Elementary School will likely be greeted by a new principal when they return from winter recess later this month.
During a special meeting this week, the Pittsford School Board accepted the resignation of Gregory West, who served as Lothrops principal for the past six years.
West took a medical leave of absence in December, while he underwent surgery. He returned for a brief time in January before deciding to resign altogether.
Im going to focus my priorities on my health and my family, West said Friday. Its a really intensive job. It demands the best that anyone can offer and at this time I didnt feel I could give them that.
The Vermont native and St. Michaels College graduate taught in New Orleans and Virginia before returning to Vermont as an administrator in 2007, when he became Lothrops principal.
I think we came a long ways in terms of technology, West said when asked how the school has changed under his leadership.
The school now has SMART Board interactive screens and is working toward one-to-one computers for pupils in the upper grades of the K-8 school.
West said he would miss his time at Lothrop.
The highlight of my day was just standing outside and greeting the kids every day, he said.
John Castle, superintendent of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union, is currently holding down both his regular job and the principals job at Lothrop.
The goal is to have a full-time interim principal in place as soon as possible, Castle said. Tuesday night, he will recommend a candidate to the Pittsford School Board.
Ive been in contact with a number of people, talking with potential candidates, he said.
If the School Board accepts his recommendation Tuesday, Castle said, the interim principal could start work Wednesday.
More likely, well have someone in place when the kids return from winter break (Feb. 25), he said.
Castle said the interim principal will be paid by the day, based on an annual salary of $80,000 to $85,000, while a search committee looks for a permanent principal to start July 1.
The Pittsford School Board will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Lothrop Library.
